There will be days :
You'll feel your voice fading away,
Dwindling amidst the mishaps and hardships,
Without even having the will power to convey what you really feel.
You'll feel as if you are consigned to oblivion.
That it'll be inevitable for the people who once valued you so much,
Consider you only as a dreadful memory.
You'll feel as if there are thousand things inside you,
Blaring to be heard,
To let loose amidst the falls,
But it won't. It'll be trapped once again. Unheard.
You'll feel your eyes losing its sparkle and cheer that you once had,
And that your tears will define you than words.
There will be days when you'll fall apart a billion trillion times,
Somehow, hoping that you'll be okay.
But soon you'll realize that your despairing and worthless life will trap you in the pound of shitstorms and tragedies  
That it'll become utterly impossible for you to begin again.
“Yes, I understand why things had to happen this way. I understand his reason for causing me pain. But mere understanding does not chase away the hurt. It does not call upon the sun when dark clouds have loomed over me. Let the rain come then if it must come! And let it wash away the dust that hurt my eyes!”
Now that we've exposed the existential farce of Satan,
It can be said Man created the devil,
Not as a god but in our own wretched likeness,
With no scapegoat for our innate commitment to evil

Inherently malicious with Benevolent aims,
As we wonder, we wander, and unwillfully wane

We are just sitting and waiting.
Waiting for our lives to begin.
Our standards are too high.
The stories we hear are too grand.
It's some days we see our lives are going no where frighteningly quick.
So we try and ***** out the "normal" like flame on a wick.
We are hungry for adventure and end up starving.
I've asked myself numerous times, "Why not me? Why?"
I see the same look though in everyone else, I see the "why" in their own craving eye.
No one gets a story. No one gets a tale, and the few of us that try only get new tears to collect for lost dreams.
You can thank the silver screen for this stigma folks.
We shoot for the stars and just look like jokes.
So don't keep trying to one-up reality.
We're all here for the long run.
If you keep on trying you'll end up like me.
All I have is a cocktail of confusion and sadness in the cavity where my heart was yet now I place my lack of purpose.
